We just wanted to hear his name called as he walked across the stage. We are sure this is the dream of every parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, brother, sister, friend, of all the students that were there — only to hear his name mispronounced, and also misspelled in the program.
Did anyone proof read the program? Obviously not. There were several names that were difficult to say, or to pronounce, and seems to me those names flowed easily off the tongues of the ones speaking. However, Godwin seemed to be difficult to print and to say.
How hard is it — Godwin — only to hear Goodwin.
We even heard someone say, "Oh don't worry, she knows him and will say it correctly."
Nope — Didn't happen.
This is totally inexcusable.
